BSE SENSEX

Free-float market-capitalization index of 30 large, established companies listed on the BSE, published since 1986 with a 1978-79 base. It is India's oldest widely followed equity benchmark.

This asset is calculated on the venue linked above — a typed relationship in the dataset, not a name that happened to match.

No live level is shown for this asset: our open, keyless sources cover crypto, major FX crosses, the ECB policy rate, the US 10-year yield and US CPI — index levels and commodity prices are only available from licensed vendors, and we do not publish figures we cannot source openly.
